modernization process.
The Head of State stressed that the aeronautical industry has been strengthened, which has contributed to reducing technological dependence on other countries and has —instead— generated growth in the assembly of basic training aircraft.
"As the Supreme Chief of the Armed Forces, but above all as a Peruvian (citizen), I am proud of our military aircraft that perform a unique service," he said.
Therefore, the top official announced that the working conditions of personnel of these institutions will be improved, adding that their equipment and training will not be neglected.
The President also congratulated the officers of the Armed Forces engaged in United Nations special missions, as well as the female personnel holding the rank of non-commissioned officers and technicians who are in charge of the maintenance of combat aircraft.
National anniversary
During his speech, the President mentioned that in a few days Peruvians will commemorate the 201st independence anniversary. He deemed it as an important date, which —he affirmed— should find us united.
"There is only one Peru; no one divides it and this should be the opportunity to renew the commitment that we all have to the country to continue fighting against the major scourges such as poverty, inequality, insecurity, and corruption," he said.
Moreover, the Head of State indicated that on July 28 he will give account of his administration and the goals set by the Government for the next and subsequent years.
In this sense, the top official emphasized that his goal is to meet people's demands with greater decision and willingness.
"We will continue working with greater effort and determination to boost growth, development, and strengthen democratic institutions, within the framework of a dialogue with all sectors for the sake of the country," he asserted.
